Well considering even SE made a thread about the earthquake... people have explained this before. The earthquake effected Japan and caused power problems seeing that one of the power plants that powers Tokyo was effected. SE is in Tokyo, and therefore was effected. Seeing that this is only a few hours from Japan, it could have, and did, effect game service with FFXIV and with SE causing shut downs and delays in the updates in the game and the ability to play the game.

Remember the almost two week shut down of the servers, happened due to the earthquakes. So yeah I can see how that could be related to the stability of the servers and therefore the game seeing that the Earthquake and Tsunami were close to Tokyo and Toyko got earthquakes as well, where SE is based.

1) This topic isn't about earthquakes or anything else other than the need for an Off topic forums.

2) Yes an earthquake and resulting damage to power plants took down the servers however I don't see anything in that thread that ties it to FFXIV at all what so ever and would best be placed in an off topic forum or held to the forums own policies.

3) No more about anything to do with recent news and events please. Lets keep this on topic.
